On the Nature and Variability of the East Greenland Spill Jet: A Case Study in Summer 2003
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esults from a high-resolution (~2 km) numerical simulation of the Irminger Basin during summer 2003 are presented. The focus is on the East Greenland Spill Jet, a recently discovered component of the circulation in the ...
Offshore Transport of Dense Water from the East Greenland Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ata from a mooring deployed at the edge of the East Greenland shelf south of Denmark Strait from September 2007 to October 2008 are analyzed to investigate the processes by which dense water is transferred off the shelf. ...
Multidecadal Mobility of the North Atlantic Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is one of the most important modes of variability in the global climate system and is characterized by a meridional dipole in the sea level pressure field, with centers of action near ...
Mean Structure and Dynamics of the Shelfbreak Jet in the Middle Atlantic Bight during Fall and Winter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using a collection of high-resolution shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) velocity sections that cross the Middle Atlantic Bight shelfbreak jet near 70°W, the mean structure of the frontal jet is described ...
Structure and Variability of the Shelfbreak East Greenland Current North of Denmark Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractData from a mooring array deployed north of Denmark Strait from September 2011 to August 2012 are used to investigate the structure and variability of the shelfbreak East Greenland Current (EGC). The shelfbreak EGC ...
THE GREENLAND FLOW DISTORTION EXPERIMENT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Greenland has a major influence on the atmospheric circulation of the North Atlantic?western European region, dictating the location and strength of mesoscale weather systems around the coastal seas of Greenland and directly ...
